BAYFIELD WRITERS SERIES
May 2 and May 3
The Little Inn
The Bayfield Writers Series is a new literary initiative dedicated to bringing readers and writers together..
For its 2025 inaugural event, on May 2 & 3rd, The Bayfield Writers Series will spotlight the beloved genre of historical fiction. Four International and New York Times bestselling authors: Madeline Martin, Jennifer Robson, Bryn Turnbull and Heather Marshall are coming to Bayfield to connect with an up-close and collaborative group of writers and readers. Using interactive panel discussions, readings from their captivating novels and interviews, these four masters of the Art of Historical Fiction will share a few of their secrets for writing, researching, and publishing, and maybe even a peek behind what they are working on next.
What better place to host a historical fiction event than The Little Inn in Bayfield? Steeped in history and an iconic setting, The Little Inn has been welcoming guests since 1847 and is the longest continually operating Inn in Ontario. It first served as a stagecoach stop for weary travellers to rest, dine and have a drink, as well as have a place for their horses to rest.
The volunteer organizers are thrilled to share their first event “The Art of Historical Fiction: Where Fact Meets Fiction”, is now sold out! To stay in the know, simply follow @bayfieldwritersseries on Instagram and Facebook for updates and highlights. Also sign up to be added to the monthly email newsletter bayfieldwritersseries@villagebookshop.ca.
